stupidbox
This is a really simple and a bit stupid image lightbox jQuery plugin. It has no options and works out of the box. It just a javascript jquery.stupidbox.js file with no styleshets, images, etc. And just the "X" letter is used as a closing icon.
And again, all you need is jquery.stupidbox.js (it's around 30 lines of code).
Demo
HTML
The idea of this markup is that <a> tag has a big image and <img> has a thumbnail.
<a href="big-image.jpg"> <img src="thumbnail-image.jpg"> </a>
Or you can use just <img> tag. In this case, you will get the same image in the lightbox.
<img src="image.jpg">
Javascript
jQuery(function ($) { $("a").stupidbox(); });
Or:
jQuery(function ($) { $("img").stupidbox(); });
BTW
We stretch image in the lightbox to full screen keeping aspect ratio, so it's recommended to use high quality images for "big image".
